When youngest Huxtable Rudy laments that no one wants to play with her, Cliff gets the brilliant idea of inviting some of her friends over for a last minute sleepover. There’s just one hitch — his wife Clair is out of town, and all the older kids bail on helping him. So now, it’s one middle aged dad versus a half dozen kindergarteners (including a young Alicia Keys!) Of course, everything is mayhem, even when Cliff almost blows his knee out doing his famous “bucking bronco†routine. It isn’t until Grandpa Russell shows up that the children finally behave, having been bribed by the old man to do so.
